Other biochemical parameters that were significantly higher in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with influenza were LDH, ALT, AST, bilirubin and ferritin (370 U/L vs. 230 U/L, 29 U/L vs. 20 U/L, 40 U/L vs. 26 U/L, 0.52 mg/dL vs. 0.42 mg/dL and 1000 ng/mL vs. 290 ng/mL, respectively; p = .000 for each and p = .021 for bilirubin). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is COVID-19.
